For WYSIWIG there are many options, and a few leading free ones, but I can't find anything in the Code Editing realm.
Preferably it'd be open source, secondly; if not, something that I can host/integrate and not a hosted thing.
I know you have apps doing on-demand code running etc around here, so surely somebody else is using something similliar to this.
Thanks
EditArea has a lot of features and works well, if it displays properly in your browser: http://www.cdolivet.net/editarea/
CodePress does pretty well in FireFox: http://codepress.org/
I think CodeMirror has the most potential -- I like the parser design in particular: http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/
Just curious, why do you want one? It seems to me that a code editor is almost uniquely unsuited to be a web app. You need to keep your data locally anyhow, unless your whole toolchain is a web service. Furthermore, my editor is a tool I want absolute control over: I don't want its behavior changing unexpectedly when a new update is released.
Mac OS X supports a decent batch of emacs-style keybindings -- C-a and C-e work, C-k and C-y work, the cursor-movement keys work. Give me C-s and C-r and I would be even happier, though. Or C-x C-w to write half-written drafts of news.yc posts to files for backup. Or C-x C-i to import text from files on disk. The list goes on and on.
I type an unfortunate amount of text into browser fields during the course of a day. It would be nice to be able to make these fields work more like a decent editor, and by that I don't mean TinyMCE.
